CM Punk may join Jesse Ventura in the commentary booth at Saturday Night’s Main Event, marking a historic partnership for the show’s return after 16 years at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.
During his commentary duties at a Cage Fury Fighting Championships event, Punk addressed the possibility. “I might be doing commentary with Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura tomorrow night at Saturday Night’s Main Event. I got to relax. Get us thrown on Peacock, brother,” he said.
Punk has maintained a presence on WWE commentary during his recovery from a tricep injury sustained at the Royal Rumble. His most recent in-ring appearance came at Survivor Series: WarGames, where he assisted The OG Bloodline in securing victory.
Paul Heyman previously promised to grant Punk a favor following his support of The Bloodline at WarGames, though details remain undisclosed.
Saturday Night’s Main Event airs on NBC and Peacock at 8 PM EST from Long Island, New York.
